Options Puts Buck the Market Trend:

We decided to go bearish on a couple of options ideas for yesterday morning’s premarket report, flying in the face of the market sentiment of the day. HAL and LMT were both coming off their earnings reports, and a short felt like the way to go.

Despite the markets roaring up, both of our ideas bucked the overall trend and recorded excellent moves on the day, providing ourselves and our readers with multibag intraday gain opportunities. Our specific targets were the HAL Weekly $41.50-40.50 Puts, and the LMT Weekly $465-460 Puts, and here were the excellent moves they put forth for the session:

HAL Weekly $41.50-40.50 Puts

Options Review, Bearish on New Plays

BAC, SYF Options Review:

We made good on both of the short-term options trading ideas we issued in yesterday morning’s premarket report. with our long -term play needing some more time to mature. We typically steer clear of banks, but occasionally we will take a shot following an earnings drop and we did so successfully with Bank of America.

We were zeroed in on the BAC Weekly $36.50-37.50 Calls, as well as the SYF Weekly $37-39 Calls, which also produced significant intraday gain opportunities for us on the day. The daily ranges and total possible profits off of those ideas were as follows:

BAC Weekly $36.50-37.50 Calls
$36.50: 1.18-2.86 (+142%)
$37: .84-2.35 (+179%)

Our options idea for the TWTR chain from Thursday morning’s premarket report returned good intraday results despite the stock trending in the wrong direction. The markets were subdued on Thursday, but that also played well into the bearish ideas we had signaled in the two sessions prior.
